Why do you ask? If you are looking to buy, we still have all versions except the KBAs left in stock

All versions of the TEA are now in stock and available to order http://www.trains4u.com/b/250/Cavalex-Models TEA singles £45 TEA triples £135 KBA twins £90

The problem isn’t severe, but it is enough that, if left, could have resulted in criticism more damaging than choosing not to release them. It was an avoidable assembly mistake that couldn’t have been foreseen by anyone in the UK, especially as factory visits are a no-go at the moment. These things happen occasionally unfortunately, It makes me wonder how many models land with other suppliers that never see the light of day…?

Hi Well, it appears that the cat is out of the bag. We (Cavalex, KMS and ourselves) were planning on waiting until the models sere in the air before making an announcement I can confirm that the red cradle variants are with the freight handler in China, awaiting a flight to the UK, but there are continued regional covid lockdowns occurring which is impacting the shipping process (hence wanting certainty of an actual flight) but we are anticipating that they will leave China this week. The remaining wagons (HOP ABs, CDAs, HFAs and coal and blue HAAs) are entering the final phases of production and will be shipped by Sea once complete. I cannot speak for KMS, but we will soon be contacting customers for payment for the red cradle hoppers. customers who have also ordered other wagons in the range will be offered free postage on the balance of the order, which will arrive later this Summer (we won’t ask for payment until they arrive) As soon as they are on a plane, we’ll let you know!

If anyone is looking for these we still have a modest quantity available http://www.trains4u.com/c/797/KR-Models

We have a great selection of weathered and detailed O gauge locos these are now all listed on our website http://www.trains4u.com/c/444/Diesel-Electric-Locomotives

We are certainly getting geared up! we’ve got a great range of beautifully weathered and detailed wagons and locos that we’ve prepared especially for the show! here is a taster…

Generally speaking, expect to get between 30% and 50% of what the retailer sells similar items for (some retailers are fairer than others) you may get slightly more for trade-in than cash. bear in mind, the retailer has overheads, VAT on the price differential and a margin to prepare items for sale and in case damaged/mis-described items show up. then they will want to make some profit. if you go to a trader anticipating this, you can know what sort of values to expect/accept.

Heljan did unnumbered 47s in green, blue, Large logo and triple grey we sold literally hundreds (though they were only £50 each at the time)

We have taken in a large collection of OO (nearly 100 locos) mainly BR early crest steam and transition, mainly boxed Bachmann. lots of good boxed wagons and carriages. our cupboards have been completely refreshed with lots of older stock migrating to eBay. Do drop in and take a look, or let me know if there is anything particular you are looking for.

Not at all! you can modify your form yourself or just ask and I can do it for you (or you could push the boat out and get both! )

As previously stated all versions are available to pre-order with us, with no deposit required. (link to the order form is on our homepage) www.Trains4U.com

Believe it or not, the later Hornby 56 tooling will be 15 years old in 2022

We still currently have reasonable stocks of all versions though our exclusive Railfreight versions are down to about 40% remaining (after just 12 days)

One of the Cavalex KFAs came in useful on Christmas day! seasons greetings!

Stop it you!

A few pics…

They’re here! Order before 10am Tuesday for pre-Xmas courier delivery (mainland UK only) We have three exclusive Railfreight liveried models; one unbranded and two with large Railfreight logos All versions are available to buy now £45.00 each http://www.trains4u.com/b/250/Cavalex-Models

Have you tried calling? sometimes emails get diverted to junk (thanks Microsoft/McAfee) At this busy time of year, things drop through the cracks. I doubt you are being intentionally ignored!

Our BBAs and BLAs are expected to arrive with us this weekend Order online now and any orders received by end of day Monday 20th will be dispatched on Tuesday 21st, meaning they should arrive in time for Christmas (mainland UK only!) We have three exclusive Railfreight BBAs in addition to the thirteen main-range models, all with good availability! http://www.trains4u.com/c/656/Cavalex

We have only a couple each of R3840 and R3841 left in stock... Be quick if you want one. It's a shame our allocation was cut so drastically by Hornby.

Ours are due tomorrow we still have some unallocated they will be available online at some point during the day

Last I heard, they were a couple of days out of Felixstowe. The container then needs processing and the stock forwarding, but it shouldn’t be long now. keeping fingers crossed that they arrive before Christmas

The DBSOs never carried that livery they were introduced on the Anglian services in 1988/89 when the 158s took over the scotrail shuttles. they had the gangways removed and were painted into swallow livery before introduction. The sealed gangway version has not been done by Bachmann yet, and when it is, it won’t be in executive livery I’m afraid.

Administrative error… fixed now
